Murdered Journalists: 90% of Killers Get Away with It but Who Are the Victims? Murdered journalists: 90% of killers get away with it but who are the victims? With 370 dead over 10 years, governments need to do more to catch the killers, says the Committee to Protect Journalist • Nils Horner’s death highlights lack of justice for those murdered at work • Greenslade: 90% of journalists’ murderers across the world escape justice • theguardian.com, Monday 3 November 2014 21.10 AEST The 683 journalists murdered since 1992 Photograph: CPJ data A grim toll of 370 journalists have been murdered over the past 10 years in direct retaliation for doing their job. An even more alarming statistic is that 90% of their killers have not been brought to justice, according to statistics from the Committee to Protect Journalists. In its report, The road to justice: breaking the cycle of impunity in the killing of journalists, the CPJ argues that governments need to do much more to catch the killers.

Under its new constitution, citizens elected Hamid Karzai president in 2004 and the following year selected a new parliament; although the elections did not fully meet international standards for free and fair elections, citizens perceived the outcomes as acceptable, and the elections established the basis for democratic development at the federal and regional levels. A continuing insurgency hindered the government's capacity to govern effectively in several areas of the country. Although civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, there were instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently. The country's human rights record remained poor. Human rights problems included extrajudicial killings; torture; poor prison conditions; official impunity; prolonged pretrial detention; restrictions on freedom of the press; restrictions on freedom of religion; violence and societal discrimination against women; restrictions on religious conversions; abuses against minorities; sexual abuse of children; trafficking in persons; abuse of worker rights; and child labor. Although the government deepened its authority in provincial centers, Taliban or factions operating outside government control exercised authority in some areas. During the year more than 6,340 persons died as a result of the insurgency, including deaths by suicide attacks and roadside bombs, in contrast to 2007, when more than 6,500 persons died. The majority of the casualties were insurgent fighters killed in combat.

  • Media-Watch-English-Report-91.Pdf
    1 Preamble: Over the past ten years, media organizations and reporting associations have struggled to bring awareness to the problem of violence against journalists in Afghanistan because there has been no comprehensive study done on the problem. During the last decade, a high number of Afghan reporters have lost their liveswhile working as professional journalists, but yet none of these cases has been pursued in an impartial manner through the judicial system. With no legal pursuit of these cases of murdered or harassed journalists, criminals and enemies of freedom of speech are more likely to continue their crimes against journalism and the media. However a few years ago, six Afghan reporters received awards and appreciation letters for their courage to stand up for the country’s freedom of speech. This is proof that despite many challenges facing the media and reporters in Afghanistan the media as a whole is defending their rights in a dangerous region. The information awareness duties for the media in a community where the war and insecurity has affected the sanctity of life is crucial. Unfortunately, most of local rulers and government officials are unable to understand the value of media and the freedom of expression. Afghanistan is a country where injustice, corruption and a total lack of rule of law is considered normal life. Given these serious hazards, the work of reporters to criticize government officials and warlords can be very dangerous. Despite all these challenges, the country’s open media has the ability towin the confidence of the people and their audiences. Currently, the people in order to gain information first refer to the internal media and then to external media.

  • Unhcr Eligibility Guidelines for Assessing the International Protection Needs of Asylum-Seekers from Afghanistan
    UNHCR ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSING THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION NEEDS OF ASYLUM-SEEKERS FROM AFGHANISTAN United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) July 2009 NOTE UNHCR Eligibility Guidelines are issued by the Office to assist decision-makers, including UNHCR staff, Governments and private practitioners, in assessing the international protection needs of asylum-seekers from a given country. They are authoritative legal interpretations of the refugee criteria in respect of specific groups on the basis of objectively assessed social, political, economic, security, human rights and humanitarian conditions in the country of origin concerned. The pertinent protection needs are analyzed in detail and recommendations made as to how the applications in question should be decided upon in line with the relevant principles and criteria of refugee law as per, notably, the 1951 Convention and its 1967 Protocol, the UNHCR Statute and relevant regional instruments such as the Cartagena Declaration, the 1969 OAU Convention and the EU Asylum Directives. The recommendations may also touch upon, as relevant, complementary or subsidiary protection regimes. UNHCR issues its Eligibility Guidelines pursuant to its responsibility to promote the accurate interpretation and application of the above-mentioned refugee criteria as envisaged by Article 8 of its Statute, Article 35 of the 1951 Convention and Article II of its 1967 Protocol and based on the expertise it has developed over several years in eligibility and refugee status determination matters. It is expected that the positions and guidance contained in the Guidelines should be weighed heavily by the relevant decision-making authorities in reaching a decision on the asylum applications concerned.
